We invite you to FBA’s Cel­e­brate Event – our final offi­cial event for 2022 on Wednes­day, 23 Novem­ber. Bring­ing togeth­er the FBA NSW com­mu­ni­ty, this is a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to raise a glass and toast, with your fam­i­ly busi­ness peers, to all your col­lec­tive achievements.

This event has become one of the most pop­u­lar and antic­i­pat­ed in the NSW cal­en­dar and again will be host­ed by Swaab, an estab­lished Syd­ney law firm with over 40 years of expe­ri­ence spe­cial­is­ing in estate plan­ning & fam­i­ly law.

Join us at their mid-city venue’s unique open air-ter­race for drinks and canapés.

We are pleased to be able to make this year’s event com­pli­men­ta­ry for mem­bers as a way of say­ing thank you for remain­ing an impor­tant part of our com­mu­ni­ty. There are lim­it­ed spots so make sure you reg­is­ter today to reserve your space.

We hope to see you at our NSW Cel­e­brate Event to hon­our the resilient fam­i­ly busi­ness spir­it as we look for­ward to a brighter 2023.
